Hi everyone! this is my first time posting on the community and I am hoping for a good experience! :)
here is the environment...
I administer two domains:
domain1.contoso.com
domain2.contoso.com
I have installed and configured SCVMM 2012 SP1 RU2 on Windows Server 2012 (Fully updated) and local SQL 2012 SP1. Firewall is off during testing.
This SCVMM server is a member of the domain1.contoso.com domain. The SCVMM service is running under a domain account. This SCVMM server service account is also a member of domain1.contoso.com.
Here is where it gets a little gray.
My two domain functional levels are Windows 2008 R2 and I have a full two-way trust between them.
I am trying to add two Hyper-V clusters which are members of the domain2.contoso.com domain. Both clusters are based on Windows Server 2012.
When I try to add the hyper-v hosts to the console I get the following error:
I have tried the following:
- Added domain1.contoso.com VMM-computer and VMM-serviceAccount to the administrative group on all hosts in cluster.
- Delegated read permissions to both said accounts above.
- Confirmed that firewalls are all off.
- Tried adding them via ip and fqdn (hypervhost.domain2.contoso.com) same error.
- I have confirmed that at the top of AD (domain2) I have these top said accounts as read access and all the way down to the servers OU.
At this point I am at a loss. THis is my second build of the setup, my previous build used a local system account and had no success either.
Does anyone have any suggestions or documentation that I could dig into? I have tried to look at some cross-domain SCVMM stuff but the material around is very limited.
Thanks everyone in advance.
